Vesper purchased Midtown 905 in partnership with an institutional investor. The property is Vesper’s fifth acquisition in the Denton market. Including this purchase, Vesper has completed 6 student housing transactions totaling nearly $300 million over the past 9 months.
Built in 2011, Midtown 905 is a four-story, 432-bed purpose-built, student housing community. The property offers a diverse unit mix including two-, three-, and four-bedroom unit floor plans – all with bed-to-bath parity.
Residents of Midtown 905 enjoy a host of top-tier amenities, including fully furnished apartments, boutique clubhouse, resort style pool, game room, complimentary coffee bar, covered parking, and location on the University’s bus route.
Vesper is planning to invest approximately $1.8 million in capital expenditure. Vesper’s capital improvement plan will focus on unit and amenity upgrades, as well as substantial technology upgrades throughout the community.
“Our acquisition of Midtown 905 is part of a strategy to purchase institutional quality student housing in strong markets that offer our investors superior risk-adjusted returns,” commented Isaac Sitt, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Vesper Holdings. “We expect to remain extremely active in the coming months, as we look to take advantage of pricing dislocations in this higher interest rate environment” Sitt added.
